+## Stale PRs
+
+Conan Center Index uses [stale bot](https://github.com/probot/stale) to close abandoned pull requests. It's configured by [stale.yml](.github/stale.yml). When a pull request gets stale, we encourage anyone to take ownership of the PR (even submit changes to the author's branch if possible) so existing work doesn't get lost when the pull request is closed without merging.
